Submit-ready District of Columbia site forms
in minutes, not days
The District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office (HPO), within the DC Office of Planning, serves as the District's SHPO; its archaeology program identifies, records, and protects archaeological sites and maintains site information and a report library. FieldTap keeps your field records organized and export-ready for that submission.
Why state forms break every other tool
Every state has its own paper site form. District of Columbia's is District of Columbia site forms — a fixed PDF layout DC HPO expects to receive exactly as published. Generic field tools give you two bad options: rebuild the form by hand in their form builder (and still retype results into the official PDF), or pay for a professional services engagement to digitize each form.
Either way, every revision the agency publishes restarts the cycle. CRM firms end up paying for software and still doing the typing.
Import once. Map once. Done forever.
Report Builder is the only feature on the market that lets a CRM firm digitize a state's official PDF form themselves — no professional-services bill, no rebuilding the form by hand. Map the fields once and every record auto-exports a submit-ready DC HPO PDF for the life of your firm.

What DC HPO reviewers expect
- DC HPO's archaeology program records sites and maintains site information and a report library — FieldTap exports records ready for that submission.
- Archaeological site location information is sensitive and shared only with qualified professionals — FieldTap keeps coordinates in your project.
- Coordinates must agree across the form, map, and any GIS deliverable — FieldTap generates all three from one record.
- Section 106 review under the NHPA drives most fieldwork in the District; consistent records reduce revision cycles.
District of Columbia SHPO FAQ
How does FieldTap fit the DC HPO workflow?
FieldTap is where you record sites in the field. Every record carries location, attributes, and GPS-tagged photos, organized and exportable, so documenting sites for the DC HPO is fast instead of a re-keying exercise.
Can we map a DC site form PDF?
Yes. Report Builder accepts any PDF, including HPO forms and internal QA forms, and populates them from the same records.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Recording, GPS, and photos run fully offline. Sync and export require connectivity.
What about GIS deliverables?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV come from the same record as the PDF, so coordinates and attributes always agree.
Can our whole crew record to one project?
Yes. FieldTap supports role-based team review before submission.
